In the basic Chi Kung classes we look at standing still, we try to connect with our inner core in order to strengthen and develop it. The primary aim of the classes is to release tension and feel reloaded, charged up again at the end of the class. We discover how to channel stress, pressure and tension in the daily life in order to feel more resilient through using simple repetitive, slow exercises. Company trainings are always looking at a very specific request. Mostly based around a team of 12-25 people, we can explore team dynamics, how we engage into relationships while keeping our core integrity. Using exercises specially designed for the client we look from the physical perspective at how a team functions and engages with challenges of daily business activities.
